The inbuild handlers will get mail into JIRA nicely, including attachments, kind of.  Anything more (eg html email signature image blacklisting) and you'll need something else, such as JEMH.  This plugin has support for manipulation of Issue fields (see Supported Fields) via email through Directives provided in a variety of ways (subject, body content, X- headers).  For examples of some, see this.

JEMH has some support for workflow auto-advancing on create, reopen on closed etc (see this), really you'd need to be more specific about the details to be able to comment further.  Apart from JEMH there are other plugins that can also slot in to add specific features, eg Jamie Echlins Script Runner.
